The timing of the initial India–Asia collision and the mechanisms that led to the eventual
formation of the high (> 5 km) Tibetan Plateau remain enigmatic. In this Review, we describe …

The continental crust in the overriding plate of the India-Asia collision zone in southern Tibet
is characterized by an overthickened layer of felsic composition with an underlying granulite …

内容提要: 印度亚洲碰撞是新生代地球上最为壮观的重大地质事件. 碰撞及碰撞以来,
青藏高原的广大地域发生了与碰撞前截然不同的变形, 地貌, 环境及其深部结构都发生了深刻地 …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

Knowledge of the topographic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau is essential for
understanding its construction and its influences on climate, environment, and biodiversity …

During continent–continent collision, does the downgoing continental plate underplate far
inboard of the collisional boundary or does it subduct steeply into the mantle, and how is this …

Magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits in collisional orogens are new targets for modern
mineral exploration, yet it is unclear why they preferentially occur in some specific tectonic …

Large earthquakes are thought to release strain on previously locked faults. However, the
details of how earthquakes are initiated, grow and terminate in relation to pre-seismically …

This paper reviews the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen
from the Carpathians to Indochina. Focus is placed on the formation of porphyry Cu±Mo±Au …

A compilation of 290 zircon U–Pb ages of intrusive rocks indicates that the Gangdese
Batholith in southern Tibet was emplaced from c. 210 Ma to c. 10 Ma. Two intense magmatic …
